Where can you find something to protect games that are still in their sealed cardboard package? Examples being NES, SNES, N64 etc. Its particularly an issue for me with high value games. I've looked around the internet but haven't found anything yet.

 Thanks

I am a collector but not for SNES, N64 and other cardboard based boxes. I think you will be really hard pressed to preserve the boxes on those. Based on GBA boxes I have I can tell you it is very difficult to take care of those beyond isolating them from anything heavy such as books, other games and so on. The other problem you will have is humidity taking its effect on the edges of the box. I would suggest getting some moisture absorbing pellets (like the ones you get with a new suitcase) and stick them in a small confined area with the games, it should minimize damage.

Thanks for the advise. I'll keep it in mind as I reorganize and store my collection.
